To Hon Commissioner of Pensions Washington D. C.
Stanley Rule & Level Co. New Britain, Conn. June 30 1896.
Your favor was duly received, and it has taken a long time to get the desired information in regard to the death of Joseph Gladwin, but I learn that on his tombstone in East Conn, it gives it as May 30. 1820 aged 70 years. It looks as if the might be the same Joseph Gladwin who was a prisoner of the Revolutionary war & it is this latter fact, that I wish to establish, and ask your aid in looking up the record.
Yours very truly H. S. Walter

What are the fees for looking up information about soldiers of the Revolution? I wish to get what information I can about Joseph Gladwin of Connecticut who was in the Rev War from May 1777 to July 1778 & who was a pensioner. I wish to know where he was born, who he married! also about Amos Porter of this state who enlisted Jan 1777 & was discharged May 1780, no pension was granted before 1818. If pension was not granted before 1818, this Amos Porter is not the one I am trying to find out about.
Yours Resp H. S. Walter
